, His Epigrams “I advise any young man to select an aim in lise and then work. “You can’t be a broker and a speculator. “Any man who would try to influence a person to part with Liberty Bonds Is not straight. They are thè best security In thè world. “A man who has acquired wealth knows how to handle lt.”

Alexander W. (Sandy) Thomson, one of thè leading figures in thè finaneial world of Indianapolis, and president of Thomson & McKinnon, brokers, is an example of what a man can accomplish if only he sets before him his aim In lise, devotes himself only to accomplishing that aim and forges forward to his goal.

While that first symbol of freedom flew for nine long months he had not one customer. When young in thè brokerage business, Thomson fought and downed thirteen bucket shops. He always has been in thè straight brokerage business and never speculates. Thomson has no hobby except his business. “My recreatlon is golng out to my farm and trying to make a farm hand out of myself.” thè broker said. day, Nov. 29. A rabbit supper will be served.
